Meet the New Shadows in Arise

Update 1 introduces a fresh lineup of shadows that come with unique stats and playstyles. Inspired by Dragon Ball, each one brings something different to your squad.

Sky

Green

• HP: 63.00 Qa
• Damage: 2.35K – 946.69 T
• Overview: A well-rounded option that blends offense and defense. Versatile enough for most builds.

Turtle

• Overview: Sturdy and consistent. Might not deal the highest damage, but it holds the line.

Frieza

• Overview: Frieza is arguably the strongest addition this update. Unlocking him will give your team a serious edge.

How Shadows Work

If you’re still new to shadows, here’s a quick breakdown. After defeating an enemy, there’s a chance to "arise" them into your party. The better the enemy, the lower the success rate—but the reward is worth it.

• Ranks: E, D, C (Common), B, A (Rare), S, SS (Epic), G (Legendary), N (Mythical)
• Upgrading: You can combine three shadows of the same tier to move up to the next level.

Quick Tips to Build Your Shadow Team

• Frieza First: Take on the Dragon City boss early—Frieza’s too good to miss.
• Focus on Sky or Green: These two are great long-term investments, especially once upgraded.
• Mix and Match: Don’t just go full offense—tanks like Turtle keep your team alive longer.
